]]>Looking for getting Iran Visa on Arrival? Here we collect the important thing you must know about Iran Visa on Arrival in 2018; you will find out more about How to apply for it and who can get Iran visa in the airports.

Iran visa on arrival (VOA) or Iran airport visa, refers to that kind of Iran tourist visa received by nationals of all countries (except those listed below) traveling to Iran for tourist purpose. Iran visa on arrival usually has 30 days validity and issued at six airports in Iran. You can not get this visa on the land borders.

What is the difference between “visa on arrival” and “visa free entry” for travel to a foreign country?

The difference is that “visa free entry” means that you can enter the Iran without a visa for a specified period of what’s usually called a ‘landing permission’, where a ‘visa-on-arrival’ means that you need a visa to enter, but can apply for and receive the Iran visa when you show up.

There’s not a huge difference between these two regarding what happens when you get to the airport, but regarding diplomacy and time/role based restrictions, there’s a big difference.

“visa free entry” exists because two countries sat down and said, “Hey, it’s in our mutual interest to allow each other’s citizens into the other country…it’s good for business and tourism yadda yadda”. So the first time I came to Japan, I wasn’t required to get a visa because the US and Japan had sat down at some point and hashed out a treaty allowing me as a US citizen to enter Japan for up to 90 days for tourism or business meetings.

Note however that there are still restrictions placed on visa free entry by various countries.

Visas in general, including “visa on arrival,” generally means that there hasn’t been an explicit agreement between two countries for whatever reason allowing visa-free entry.

Iran’s tourism industry looks set to grow rapidly following the lifting of economic sanctions, with more westerners seeking to visit and plans being made for the development of tour companies, hotels, and tourist facilities. Due, this project Iran adding more countries into the Iran Visa on Arrival list and recently extend the 15 days validation to 30 days.

What is Travel Visa?

A visa is a conditional authorization granted by a country to a foreigner, allowing them to enter and temporarily remain within, or to leave that country. Visas typically include limits on the duration of the foreigner’s stay, territory within the country they may enter, the dates they may enter, the number of permitted visits or an individual’s right to work in the country in question. Visas are associated with the request for permission to enter a country and thus are, in some countries, distinct from actual formal permission for an alien to enter and remain in the country. In each instance, a visa is subject to entry permission by an immigration official at the time of actual entry and can be revoked at any time.

Iran Air (Homa) Air Line:

“Iranian Airways” was first established in May 1944 and commenced its first passenger flight right after the World War II from Tehran to the holy city of Mashhad. Within a period of 17 years (1945-1962), this airline developed into a major domestic Route with a few international flights per week. In 1954 another private airline as “Pars Airways” was established. Initially “Pars Airways” only undertook freight services to Europe. The geographical situation of Iran, expanding its spacious levels, relative remoteness of crowded areas from each other, lack of means of transportations either railways or roads, the need to initiate safe and fast connections to survey and governmental organizations, and the last but not the least, lack of an ordered equipment with high capacity to revive mutual aviation rights with other countries and also securing more welfare and comfort for Iranians, provided the conditions for the board of ministers to ratify a proposal suggested by road minister to establish a National Airline corporate on February 10th, 1961. Following this decision, on February 24th, 1961 both “Iranian Airways” and “Pars Airways” merged to form a new airline as” IranAir” with the acronyms and the symbol of “HOMA” bird and this new airline commenced its activities in April 1962.
Covering the domestic aviation transportation needs to be accompanied by observing the safety principles and forming transportation services with neighboring and far-fetched countries, and also considering simultaneous communal contracts on economic grounds and interests of the country were among the reasons to establish IranAir.

Aseman Air Line:

Events in the Iranian airline industry during the past year have again proven extremely challenging. External factors such as a substantial rise in cost in combination with a governmental curb on our ability to adjust domestic ticket fares significantly affected our day-to-day operations and threatened our financial statements. Also, U.S. sanctions continued to influence our capacity to source aircraft and parts at competitive prices.

Mahan Air Line:

Mahan Air recognizes the dedication and diligence of our 2000 staff as the key factor in our success. Every effort is made to create an exciting and rewarding working environment for them.
To support our service excellence strategy, Mahan Air has adopted a rigorous quality control process for staff recruitment. All flight attendants must complete an intensive six-month training course before serving their first passenger. This is one of the longest and most comprehensive flight attendant training programs of any major airline.
The aim of Mahan Air is training for cabin crews and other front –line staff to provide courteous service reflecting warmth and friendliness as well as safety and professional skills.
In addition to utilizing flight simulators in Europe to train our pilots, the A300 flight simulator in Mahan Air`s Kerman training center is used to train Mahan Air pilots, as well as pilots from other airlines in the region.

The Railway Transportation Company is an associate of the IR to control its freight transport. The Iranian Ministry of Roads and Transportation is the state agency that oversees the IR.

Iran Railway Network and Domestic Train ticket in Iran

The railway network converges on Tehran and connects all the main parts of the country except the Southeast. Importantly, Iran lines at the crossroads of East-West and North-South transportation corridors that are active or potentially active. The western railway extension links to Turkey at the Razi–Kapikoi border. A northern connection to Azerbaijan, the Caucasus, and Russia has a bogie-changing station at the border at Jolfa. The southern routes connect Tehran to the Persian Gulf ports of Bandar Imam and Bandar Abbas. A line to the Caspian Sea ends at the terminal of Amir Abad and Bandar Turkmen and is part of a North-South corridor to Russia and Scandinavia. The north-east corridor connects Mashad and continues further to the bogie-changing station at Sarakhs. For the landlocked countries of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan, this line provides access to the sea. A recent connection from Mashad to Bafq has significantly shortened access to the harbor of Bandar Abbas.

With up to 500 km of new lines per year, Iran’s railway has one of the quickest growing networks in the world. Many new destinations have been added since the last years and new services have been introduced on existing lines. By 2020 Iran expects to reach every regional capital by rail. New lines are under construction to Rasht on the Caspian Sea, Hamedan, Sanandaj, Kermanshah, and Urumieh. A high-speed line to Esfahan and a new, faster line between Mianeh and Tabriz are nearly completed. Electrification of the main line between Tehran and Mashad has started where trains will soon be able to travel at 200 km/h.

Turkey – Iran Train Tickets and link to Central Asia

In recent years the railways have undergone significant extensions including 1977 linking to the western rail system at the Turkish border, the 1993 opening of the Bandar Abbas line providing better access to the sea, and the 1996 opening of the Mashad–Sarakhs branch as part of the Silk Road railway to link to the landlocked Central Asian Countries. Former states of the Soviet Union have routes using a wider gauge. Thus the Iranian Railways maintain break-of-gauge services at borders to Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, and beyond short wide-track rail segments to the border crossing. In 2007, Russian Railways, Iranian Railways, and Azerbaijani State Railways agreed on implementing the project to build a new railways line between Qazvin, Resht, Astara (Iran) and Astara (Azerbaijan).

Important: Trans – Asia express train (Turkey – Iran Train) canceled indefinitely; In August 2015, the Trans-Asia Express was canceled until further notice, after security incidents in Eastern Turkey. It’s still canceled in 2017, and unlikely to resume in the near future.

International Standard Gauge route to Europe

The path to the west into Turkey terminates at Van with a 90km (55 miles) train ferry for both freight wagons and international passenger traffic (baggage car only) across Lake Van, which is at an altitude of 1650m, to Tatvan. The standard gauge route continues via Ankara to Istanbul via another train ferry between the İstanbul Haydarpaşa Terminal on the eastern side of the Bosphorus and the Sirecki terminus on the European shore. This crossing will be bypassed by the Marmaray Crossing, a dual track rail tunnel, due to open in 2009.

Iran – Pakistan Train Ticket

Current projects include a line from Kerman eastward via Bam to Zahedan to link up with Pakistan and connect to Quetta.

This connection will bridge the last gap of a rail connection between the Indian subcontinent and Europe.The link is due to open by December 2008 (confirmed by Chief of Iranian Railways in mid-2007).

Various sections can be seen under construction on Google Earth maps updated to 2007. A bogie changing station is under construction south of Zahedan, but Iran Railways is seeking to persuade Pakistan Railways to convert its route to Quetta to standard gauge to facilitate the flow of international traffic to Europe.

Pakistan responded in 2006 with a statement that it is to convert its network to standard gauge (1.435m), and would plan a link with the standard gauge system of China.

Most passengers feel that the traveling comfort of Fadak train is more than comparable to a newly built train. The coaches are technically capable of running with up to 200km/h and combining the opportunity of long distances traveling with high speed in a very comfortable way.

The designer of Fadak train composed a unique design for a passenger/sleeping train.

Modern interior and décor combined with contemporary technical features have been united within approved railway technology. Air conditioning, video technology, comfortable interior in combination with ornaments emphasizes the effort to each detail.

Classes & Costs

The majority of trains have two classes, though a significant minority have only one. If you decide a 2nd-class compartment is too crowded for you, you can often upgrade to 1st class along the way, provided there’s space. A seat in 2nd class costs a bit less than a normal (Maemolee) bus, and a 1st-class seat is a bit less than a VIP bus.

On overnight trains (usually to/from Tehran) the 1st-class carriages have sleeper couchettes (ghazal) with four or six bunks. Solo women should strongly consider requesting a single-sex sleeper. On most 1st-class services meals are served in your compartment and aren’t too bad. Long-distance trains also travel by a restaurant car.

The most comfortable trains are on the busy Tehran to Mashhad route. The Simorgh, for example, is more expensive than other 1st-class options but includes dinner, breakfast, an unusually comfortable bed and the mixed blessing of a TV. You can ask to be seated in a non-smoking compartment.

Reservations

Train ticketing is an integrated system, and tickets can be booked up to a month in advance. Particularly for trains leaving on Thursday, Friday and public holidays, it’s recommended you book ahead.
